Having a cold sucks. It’s torture, really. Slow, agonizing, torture. Aside from swallowing what is essentially snot all day, your throat burns and you have a constant desire to cough, which then burns. Not to mention the fact that you’re tired and run down and can never really breathe through both nostrils at once. This week, I have a cold. Just a common cold, I guess. Probably unrelated to the flu-like symptoms of last week. (And I’ll take cold over flu any day.) In some ways, it’s like my body said, “Wait, the wedding is over? And you’re back to…

I know I’ve talked about Goals before, but the topic has been on my mind a lot lately. I guess it’s just that time of year, isn’t it? Most people call them “resolutions”, but basically that’s the same thing as a goal. In the end, it’s all about change. Changing something we do or say in order to obtain or reach something we want most in life. But how many times have we set the same new year’s resolutions year after year? How many times have we set the same goals only to look back a year or so later…

A beautiful wedding, a fun honeymoon, and a happy trip home to Georgia for the holidays put an end to a decade that was full of hard times and heartbreaks. Of course, it wasn’t all bad, but any decade that brings two devastating housefires, a number of difficult relationship endings, and a physical assault that will haunt forever is a bad decade overall. It feels amazing to be letting that go and stepping forward into a new year, a new decade, and a new name. A new life with the right man. A new me with renewed confidence and real…

I can’t believe the time has finally arrived! Tomorrow morning at 8:05, G and I will leave for Las Vegas! Today is all about finishing the packing and double checking to make sure we have everything we need for the wedding. We were both up so late last night while I was frantically working on a bustle for the train of my dress. Yikes! I hope it looks okay! I still have some work to do on the hem. What was I thinking doing the alterations myself? I just have to sit back and remind myself that by doing that,…

With only 2 days left until we leave for Vegas, I have been looking at pictures of our hotel and dreaming of the fun we are going to have! We are staying at the Mirage Hotel and Casino right there in the middle of the Vegas Strip. Recently remodeled, all of the rooms are supposed to be very nice, with new beds and an ultra-modern look. When we first started looking at Vegas as an option for our wedding/honeymoon, the Mirage quickly stuck out as one of the best hotels on the strip. I read a ton of reviews and…

I realize that my blog hasn’t been very exciting lately, but I have a good excuse. We’re leaving for Vegas in only 6 days! The wedding and the trip are pretty much the only things on my mind, and understandably so. Never having been to Las Vegas before, I’m not totally sure what to expect… but after having loved almost every big city I’ve ever been to, I know I’m going to love Vegas too. This weekend G and I were able to upgrade our photo package at the chapel and every detail about the wedding is perfect according to…
